It will never cease to amaze me that a couple hundred "bad" calories results in a scale gain... oh well, it was a delicious cake last night and i enjoyed every bite... earning another day...yes... today is DAY 60!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Monday ! Lets bring it!!!!

Count me in!! I binged this weekend and I am just so tired of going through the same thing. Binge.... feel sick.... get frustrated....get on track... lose weight...... temptation gets the best of me.... binge... etc... It's like it's a never ending cycle and now fear has set in and I am afraid if I don't get a handle on it now I am going to end up with some health issues as a result.

So focusing on whole foods for the most part at leat 95-97% of my food intake. I AM GOING TO BEAT THE BINGE DEMON!

Today is Day 1

I'm going to take advantage of this new thread and say it's a perfect forum for my new beginning (I joined in in the middle of the last one and couldn't survive it).

so, I'm earning day 2, having a staring match with the bucket of Halloween Candy that just has to sit on my desk... I'm feeling good, though.

Good luck, K-Boogie!!! You can do it!

Everyone can do it

DAY 13!

I've noticed that my problem is that I schedule meals too late in the day for me.

I need 1/2 of my lunch at 10am, the other 1/2 at 2pm, then some of dinner by 6pm.

If I wait till noon for lunch, I'm starving and will binge on whatever is closest.
If I wait till 7pm for dinner, same thing!

Last week was a lot better!
Cheers!

I'm mid-way through day 153! Thanks for all your encouragement re: baked goods in the last thread.

Day 64 today...

I had one of those "woe is me, why am I afflicted with this issue" days yesterday (spent too much time at parties surrounded by people wolfing down junk food and guzzling booze), such a bummer. But I have now been totally on plan for over 63 days, so I don't know why I felt so glum. I feel better today, noty being faced with all the food celebrations!

Day 245!

Paris, thanks for the congrats, and right back atcha!

Good luck, everyone!

I'm on day 0. Tomorrow is going to be my day 1 with no binging. I recognize that the worst time of the day for me is right after I get home from work. I binge like no other. It's the only time of the day that I really do that... But I WILL STOP! DAY 1! woohoo!

K-boogie- that is just how I feel also, I hate it.

Day 7- Went good today, craved sweets, I had some but not too much. Total control! I really think i'm over that bad binging I used to do(5000 cal). I avoid eating too much now cause I don't want to feel sick like that, it's horrible to wake up in the middle of the night w/ night sweats. If I do overeat, I won't go over 4000 cal. total for the day anymore because that's when I get sick, i now stop when I feel full. Sometimes I'm just so fed up with dealing with this, I wish I would have never started binging. It's addictive. The past 2 mo. I learned alot about myself & food, I just don't want to feel sick anymore. That's my goal too!

Okie doke.. so here I am. I've been following you ladies here for some time, wanting to join in but for some reason, just.. not. Anyway, I'd really really like to be a part of this challenge. I don't need to dwell on the food part, but suffice it to say it's gotten pretty bad. I'm sure that you guys understand what I'm going through.

The most amazing part of this is that I had never binged before in my whole life until THE DAY that I reached goal. I don't think I've ever posted that before, but it's true. I had never binged, ever, before June 12, 2010. Anyway, I've been struggling with it big time for the past few months since. I'm trying to lose a few more pounds and I'm currently a few pounds above my goal so I need to start losing now (as opposed to gaining! )

Anyway, bottom line is I want to be positive and think of the future instead of dwelling on the past. I feel like I just need to unlearn some bad habits. So here I go, I hope you ladies don't mind me posting when I feel like I'm about to do something I'll regret, too. Hopefully I won't have to do that too much!!

Congrats on all of your hard work everyone! I know with some re-dedication I can succeed as much as you awesome ladies have!

So tomorrow is DAY 1

Starting day 154, and feeling pretty good, which is nice for a change!

Tyla, nice job on getting so inspirationally high! I'm so glad you're sticking around!

Jkinboston and Julibean--good luck starting it up, remember, the beginning is always harder!

Fruitlady-congrats on day 7!

My Michelle--I can totally relate--why do we have to deal with this problem when others don't! It's just not fair, and it shouldn't be this way (and this often feels like a pretty strong justification to binge--we just have to hold on!) congrats on day 64!

Good Morning All.

I full on binged yesterday. I sure did. It was like this wierd out of body experience. I take full responsibility. It was a pretty stressful weekend. My mom ended up in the ER. Things are better than the state of panic that they were. I'm ok. I know a very big part of this journey are the tests that you are put through. It's not how far you fall off the horse, it's about how fast you get back on.

I just wanted to put it out there. I feel all of you standing beside me. I am back on track today. Today is my Day 1.

Day 1 again. I feel so sick and awful from last night's binge. I just want to hide away and not talk to anyone today... *sigh*. I want to stay positive but my goodness it's hard! I don't even really believe I'm going to make it through today, even though I keep telling myself that today has to be day 1.

Congrats to everyone out there who is going strong. Good luck to everyone just starting out like me!

Day 246!

Paris, thanks for the compliment. I love it that you're here with 3 digits, too!

Vixsin, sorry about your mom and the full-blown binge. I'm sort of saddened by it. Glad you got right back on the horse.

JKinBoston, I posted a huge paragraph of how I could relate to you and your situation, and the stupid computer lost it all. Glad you're with us!

K-Boogie, congrats on recognizing that it's time to stop this vicious cycle. Take my hand and we'll do it together.

Good luck to all!

Tyla

Aww thank you tyla, I appreciate it and it's the thought that counts, after all! lol

Thanks paris, and you're right, the first few days really are the toughest part for me!

Yoyo and Vixsin, you guys are very brave to come here and "confess," hope you both had a good day 1!


Day 1 went well for me. I'm done with the food portion of the day so the kitchen is CLOSED lol. Thanks for being here for me. Day 1 went better than I expected. Now onto day 2, after which I get my little "gumball machine" prize of a new nail polish. Hey, it's good to start small and build up the rewards, right?

Well, great job everyone! I feel very much inspired by everyone here!
